    No overflow lounges

    November 4, 2014, English Channel ⋅ ☀️ 12 °C

    Anyone who has done a transatlantic cruise knows how many diamond and above cruisers you normally get, and it's lots and lots, and on this cruise in particular there are over 1500 diamond and above members.
    The normal thing for the evening drinks in the diamond and concierge in there situations is to use overflow lounges, to cope with the amount of extra cruisers.
    Well this time, in their wisdom, Royal have decided not to use the overflow lounges, instead once the normal lounge is full, the other members have to use their 3 free drinks on their sea passes around the ship in the other bars.
    Well not only are people unhappy with only having 3 drinks free, they are upset with not being able to interact with other diamond members in the private lounge, and to be honest the meeting people in the lounge is one of the best things about the loyalty program.
    There have been loads of complaints already, soooo watch this space.
